"I remember very few hooks that bounced off the ground and flew into the goal. I may have never seen one."
"Lin Supo's magic ball, he stood in the top corner of the penalty area on the right and faced it a little longer, and successfully scored with an overhead kick."
"Wonderful, really wonderful."
Highbury Stadium has become a sea of joy.
"Super Lin!"
"Super Lin!"
"Super Lin!"
Arsenal fans shouted Lin Supo's name crazily. They did not spare their voices at all, and they waved their scarves wildly. Some fans took off their shirts in excitement.
So handsome.
Witnessed a magic kick.
The movement of Lin Supo's kick itself is extremely chic.
The impossible became possible. A ball that could not be shot directly was hit into the goal by him with an overhead hook.
Awesome, so awesome!
After the ball bounced off the ground, it went straight to the far corner of the goal, completely deceiving the opponent's goalkeeper Hislop.
Wenger stood on the sidelines and clapped excitedly.
He rarely loses his composure like this.
But Lin Supo's goal was really beyond his expectation.
Overbearing, really overbearing!
The angle of the coaching bench is average, so I can't fully see it.
But Wenger will know at a glance whether he can score a goal and whether it is a good opportunity.
He is really happy now.
If he didn't have a labor certificate, Lin would have gone to Manchester United.
Then he and Arsenal have absolutely no chance of challenging Ferguson's team.
Although he didn't deal with Ferguson very well.
But Wenger knew Ferguson very well.
Also recognized Ferguson's strength.
A strong person will never deny his opponent to stand out, otherwise what would you become? You have been fighting with a noob for many years, aren't you also a noob?
Wenger is not kidding himself.
Ferguson was very good, and so was Manchester United.
If Lin had gone to Manchester United, there would have been only one dominant player in the Premier League for many years to come, and no team would be able to challenge Manchester United.
Even Wenger, who never believed in fate, felt that this was God's will.
Otherwise, why didn't Ferguson pursue Lin immediately this summer?
With Cantona retiring, Manchester United just needs a striker.
That Scotsman was out of his mind and didn't even want to buy Lin.
The game restarted and West Ham continued to attack. Their attacking speed became faster, which showed that their players were restless.
Gerrard passed the midfield with a long pass. Hartson fell during the frontcourt scramble, and the referee blew the halftime whistle.
"Referee, he pushed me, you saw it." Hutson stood up and rushed to the referee to complain.
The referee said: "I saw it, but the force he used was not that great at all, so don't try to deceive my eyes."
"Referee, I didn't lie."
"If you want to get carded for flopping, just keep talking to me."
Hutson saw that there was no chance to get any benefits, so he walked back.
"That guy is so cunning." Guti curled his lips and said.
Lin Supo nodded in agreement with Guti's statement.
Many forwards like to dive.
Always trying to find opportunities to score goals by cheating on penalties.
After all, penalty kicks are the easiest way to score goals.
But not everyone can succeed, and diving is also a skill.
When he was young, Ronaldo was also a player who loved diving.
Later, with the development of cameras and motion capture technology, it was not that easy to dive anymore, and there were fewer players who deliberately dived for penalty kicks.
So it’s not that the quality of the players has improved.
It is because of the external objective conditions that they cannot successfully cheat for penalty kicks often, and they will also get cards for diving, so there are fewer people diving for penalty kicks.
After everyone returned to the locker room.
It's more relaxing to sit there.
Wenger did not explain any tactics immediately.
The French "Professor" is a person who pays great attention to details.
There are 15 minutes of halftime, and if the tactics are not too complicated, he usually leaves them at the end.
These 15 minutes are a reasonable arrangement.
I started by summarizing the situation in the first half and occasionally criticizing the players.
Then arrange the tactics for the second half and how to deal with the opponent.
When the team performs well, let the players relax and make tactical arrangements when they are about to return to the court.
It can be said that Arsene Wenger has done a lot of detail.
And it's still improving.
That's why he became one of the best coaches in football.
Some fans liked Arsene Wenger in his previous life.
Let Arsenal’s late results speak for themselves.
I don’t even think about it, if Wenger’s performance was not outstanding at that time, would Real Madrid have been pursuing Wenger?
Later, when Ferguson retired, he also considered Wenger.
PSG also considered Arsene Wenger after being acquired by a local tycoon.
These all prove Wenger's strength.
After resting for almost 78 minutes, Wenger stood in front of the tactical board and wrote and drew.
Then he waved his hand and said: "West Ham's two central midfielders are their key, so you two midfielders must target them, especially the kid named Lampard."
"Okay, head."
Petit and Vieira nodded repeatedly.
"Having talked about how to contain their offense, let's talk about how to attack. The strong side of West Ham's defense is on Ferdinand's side, which is our right wing. Today Lin is playing as a forward. It is difficult to avoid fighting Ferdinand, so Jose, you need
More forward penetration helps Lin share the pressure."
"Okay, coach."
Guti nodded and said.
"Okay then, boys, you can go out and I hope you continue to score goals in the second half."
Wait until you return to the players tunnel.
Lin Supo took a special look at West Ham's two future stars.
Ferdinand looks a little more mature.
Black people in their 10s feel like they are in their 20s, and people in their 30s feel like they are in their 20s, so now Ferdinand and Lin Supo are very familiar with the Manchester United defender.
On the contrary, Lampard had a youthful look on his face, and it was obvious that he had just faded away from his youth.
When he gets older, he will mature, but British people age faster, and their 30s feel like they are 40 years old.
Rooney is even more exaggerated. In his early 30s, he looks like he is in his 60s. His beard and hair are all white, and the muscles on his face are as flabby as an old man.
Return to the court and tee off again.
West Ham obviously changed their tactics.
They actually started to press high up the pitch.
Although there are very few teams playing high-position pressing these days, and there is no mature theoretical support, it does not mean that there is no pressing at all.
West Ham's high-position press clearly shows that everyone has their own goals.
Especially when defending, it is particularly targeted.
Wenger frowned on the sidelines and turned to look at Old Ray in front of the West Ham coach's bench. He more or less guessed what the other party meant.
Redknapp wants to use physical strength to force Arsenal.
The entire West Ham team is relatively young, unlike Arsenal whose average age is older.
As long as they press hard, Arsenal can only speed up organization and intensify physical consumption.
At that time, young people with better physical fitness will have the advantage.
In the 59th minute, Pettit made a mistake when passing the ball. Lampard took the ball in the frontcourt and quickly cooperated with his teammates. Hartson passed the ball behind his back again, and Lampard kicked the ball.
This long-range shot was of very high quality and almost broke Arsenal's goal.
"Seaman couldn't pounce, but Lampard's long-range shot went slightly over the crossbar."
"Arsenal must be careful, West Ham's attack is very strong."
"Yes, West Ham stepped up their pressing in the second half. Arsenal was obviously a little panicked when passing the ball. They had to stabilize their position, otherwise they would fall into West Ham's trap."
After the restart in the backcourt.
Seaman quickly threw the ball in front, and Vieira immediately knocked it across to Boulder, who took the ball and ran forward.
Yin Wright rushed forward to press, but Bould forced a breakthrough.
Berkovich quickly made up his position, and Bould immediately moved to the front.
When Overmars received the ball, he ran towards the center. His shot completely mobilized the opponent's defense.
Seeing that Guti and Lin Supo have been cruising in the back line, West Ham's defenders did not dare to be too careless and went to cover up the defense.
Potts chased after him. He was not as fast as Overmars and could not catch up with the Dutchman. When Pierce saw it, he gritted his teeth and rushed towards Overmars.
At this moment Overmars passed the ball.
When Lin Supo ran into the penalty area, Ferdinand decisively gave up on Guti and followed Lin Supo into the penalty area.
His speed is a little faster than Lin Supo.
The two rushed towards the small penalty area together, and when they approached the small penalty area, Ferdinand was half a body ahead.
The defender squeezed with his body and got stuck in front of Lin Supo.
Although he failed to squeeze Lin Supo away, he used his body to block the connection between Lin Supo and the ball.
He escorted the ball all the way to the small penalty area, allowing Hislop to successfully press the ball under him.
"Ferdinand has done a great job."
"He was very calm when defending this time. He knew that his body might not be able to fight, so he used his speed to get into position first, and finally escorted the ball all the way to the goalkeeper."
"Yes, the defender is very calm."
Both Director Zhang and Duan Xuan emphasized the point of calmness.
The fans in front of the TV thought so too.
Why?
Even if the national team is at its peak now, it is difficult for players to stay calm when defending.
Just like Ferdinand's ball just now, the defender of the Chinese team got stuck in front of Lin Supo. They basically kicked the ball out of bounds.
It is difficult to protect the ball and hand it over to the goalkeeper as calmly as Ferdinand.
There is a corner kick missing here, fans can see clearly.
That's why I have such emotion.
Sometimes it's not necessarily because the players are not calm.
The main reason is that Chinese fans put too much pressure on the players.
The more golden generation we are now, the more shameless they are and they dare not let down the fans.
When I protect the ball and pass it to the goalkeeper, there is a certain chance that I will make a mistake.
Big-footed clearances can 100% kick the ball out of bounds, so it's not surprising that the Chinese team's defenders usually make this choice.
West Ham organized the attack again after the restart.
However, their offensive speed was much slower than in the first half.
Pressing is always a double-edged sword, especially when the whole team is involved.
When they pressed Arsenal just now, they spent a lot of energy. Now when they attack, their energy cannot keep up. They can only pass the ball back and forth in the backcourt and take a break.
But Lin Supo disagreed.
Lin Supo has been pressing hard in the West Ham half.
Lin Supo didn't even care whether he could get the ball or not, I just chased him.
The tactics that West Ham used on Arsenal just now were all returned by Lin Supo.
In the 66th minute, Yin En Pierce's pass error hit Lin Supo's foot, although the ball bounced to Mark Keller.
But Lin Supo rushed up and bumped Keller away with his shoulder and successfully got the ball.
The Arsenal players who had been pressing nearby started attacking again.
Except Lin Supo.
With wingers on the left and right and attacking midfielder Guti, West Ham instantly formed a 4-on-5 backcourt.
Although West Ham has one more player, offense and defense are completely unequal. Even 3-on-5 is a test for defense, let alone 4-on-5 with one more player.
Lin Supo took the ball and passed it to the right right away. After receiving the ball, Ray Parlor rushed to the penalty area with the ball.
Prepare to drive into West Ham's penalty area from the flank.
Steve Lomas kept retreating and lowered his center of gravity to defend carefully. Parlor suddenly started to dig down and then passed the ball back.
Ferdinand touched the ball with his foot very keenly.
Although he didn't block it, he still changed the passing route.
When Guti chased to the right to get the ball, Ferdinand had already gone to defend Lin Supo.
Guti didn't go too far to the right, so he just started and passed from the right.
Snapped--
The cross from the ball flew into the penalty area with obvious mutual contact. Lin Supo started the ball immediately, and Ferdinand started faster than him. It can be said that he deliberately started the ball early.
Lin Supo didn't look good at first glance.
He stepped up his pace, and after running for two steps, before he was close to the landing point, he used his right foot and jumped forward.
Ferdinand, who had never expected Lin Supo to take off so far in advance, raised his head.
It's like you start running for the three-step basket early before reaching the three-step line.
He saw Lin Supo gliding in the air, yes, gliding.
Seeing that the ball was still some distance away, another midfielder exerted force in the air.
Lin Supo moved his body forward a little again, then threw his head back hard.
boom--
Lin Supo headed towards the lower right corner of the goal.
But this time the force was too great, the take-off position was not good, and the ball contact position was not controlled well.
After a huge noise, the ball hit the goal again.
Seeing this scene, Hislop already cursed in his heart.
Sure enough, just as Hislop thought, the ball hit the goal and then rebounded, successfully tricking him into the goal.
"Super Lin!"
"Super Lin!"
"Super Lin!"
Highbury Stadium once again burst into loud cheers.
As soon as Lin Supo landed, he was hugged fiercely by Guti.
"Lin Supo!"
"It's Lin Supo again!"
"Lin Supo's header this time is still very beautiful."
"He was a little slower than Ferdinand, so Lin Supo took off early this time."
"Ferdinand, who was completely defenseless, couldn't keep up even if he tried to jump, especially in the air. Lin Supo's time in the air was a bit exaggerated. He relied entirely on his superior physical fitness to create this opportunity."
"Hey, Lin Supo looks thin, but he's still quite muscular when he takes off his clothes."
"Yes, Lin Supo exercises regularly and pays attention to his diet, which is why he has such strong explosive power. Even in basketball games, such exaggerated air suspension is rarely seen."
